After focusing on music by Schubert last year and by Brahms the year before, the spotlight of this year's Grinnell College Chamber Music Series will be on Beethoven's ten sonatas for piano and violin. The performers will be Grinnell College faculty members Eugene Gaub, piano and Nancy McFarland Gaub, violin. The Beethoven sonata cycle is considered the "Mount Everest" of the literature for piano and violin due not only to the technical difficulty of the music, but particularly because of its multifaceted richness and subtlety. The four concerts of the Series will proceed chronologically through the sonatas, with each concert devoted to works written at a particular time in Beethoven's career. The first concert, at 3 p.m. in Herrick Chapel on Sunday September 27, will include the three sonatas of Opus 12, which Beethoven wrote in 1797/98 as a young man out to impress Vienna. The remaining concerts of the series will take place on November 8 and on February 7 and April 18, 1999.
Underground (director, Emir Kusturica); language: Serbian/German with English subtitles; Color: 192 minutes. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m., ARH 302.
Directed by Emir Kusturica and winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, Underground covers Yugoslavian history from the period before World War II, through the collapse of communism, to the war in Bosnia. The film follows the exploits of two friends. While Blacky and a group of workers produce weapons in an underground hideout, Marko smuggles the weapons to partisans. But when the war ends, Marko doesn't tell Blacky and the others, who don't break out of their hideout until 50 years later -only to convince themselves that the war is still going on.
Through the relationship of Blacky and Marko, Kusturica represents the political chicanery that fools an entire society and the corruption that lets one man thrive at the expense of his dearest friend. At once tragic and optimistic, the film mixes drama, comedy, intrigue and war to gripping effect.
